Had a nice stay here over the weekend. I asked during booking to use a Diamond suite upgrade but the best they could offer was the Club Deluxe room, which was fine as I wasn't planning on spending a huge amount of time in the room during the day and it was a similar size (77 square metres vs 81 for the suite).

There is a large outdoor parking area that is free to use or there is underground parking with a charge associated.

Room was 410 on level 4 which is the top level. It was at the very back of the property, so a bit of a trek from reception but it is one level above the club lounge which is also at the back of the building so it was convenient for that. In room diamond amenity was 2 apples as mentioned above. The view from the room was a glimpse of Lake Burley Griffin and the top of Black Mountain Tower which was very briefly interesting at night.

The bathroom was very nice with marble floor, walls and counter. Size was good with a separate bath and shower and enough floor space not to feel cramped.

The level of service was fine but I didn't have any major demands apart from a late checkout request on Sunday which was handled satisfactorily.

Breakfast in the lounge seemed fairly standard - buffet style continental with fruit, toast, cereal, pastries and some cold meats. No complaints about the canapes and drinks from 6pm-8pm either, I enjoyed the fresh bread and cheese selection and some of the small tarts and cakes. The wine selection was not very interesting, but I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to wine so I was unlikely to be impressed!

Overall I was very happy, sure it isn't at the same level as properties like Sydney (it's also 1/3rd of the price) but it met expectations, it was a pleasant and comfortable stay and it's still the best option in Canberra at the top level.
